Question
Using the full model over GW9 to GW12, with a 2-point transfer threshold and no hits allowed, should I transfer or hold for GW9? Give the gain, threshold, immediate buys and sells, starting XI, captain, vice-captain and ordered bench. Explain what period the gain covers.
Answer
completed trace 24dea515Snapshot – frozen on 2026‑10‑28 (target GW 9).
Model – “full”, horizon 4 gameweeks (GW 9 → GW 12).
Transfer‑threshold – 2 points, hits allowed – 0.
Transfer decision for GW 9
| Decision | Reason |
|---|---|
| Transfer (make transfers = true) | The model predicts a gain of 3.78 points over the “hold” plan, which is above the 2‑point threshold. No hits are required, so the plan respects the “no‑hits” rule. |
What the gain covers – the 3.78 points is the extra expected points your squad would earn across GW 9, 10, 11 and 12 compared with simply holding the current squad for those four weeks.
Immediate GW 9 transfer actions
| Buy (in) | Sell (out) |
|---|---|
| Raya (GK, Arsenal, £6.2 m) – element 1 | João Pedro (FWD, Chelsea, £7.8 m) – element 165 |
| Barry (FWD, Everton, £5.6 m) – element 249 | B Fernandes (MID, Man Utd, £11.7 m) – element 426 |
| Mbeumo (MID, Man Utd, £7.9 m) – element 427 | Dubravka (GK, Spurs, £4.0 m) – element 497 |
All prices are shown in millions of pounds (the tool stores them in tenths).
Starting XI for GW 9
| Position | Player (element ID) | Club |
|---|---|---|
| GK | Raya (1) | Arsenal |
| DEF | Gvardiol (391) | Man City |
| DEF | Davis (305) | Ipswich Town |
| DEF | van Ewijk (175) | Coventry City |
| MID | Mbeumo (427) | Man Utd |
| MID | Rogers (40) | Chelsea |
| MID | Ødegaard (15) | Arsenal |
| MID | Groß (124) | Brighton |
| FWD | Haaland (411) | Man City |
| FWD | Calvert‑Lewin (346) | Leeds |
| FWD | Barry (249) | Everton |
Captain: Haaland (411)
Vice‑captain: Calvert‑Lewin (346)
Bench (ordered)
- Verbruggen (109) – GK, Brighton
- Slater (290) – MID, Hull City
- Mitchell (204) – DEF, Crystal Palace
- Calafiori (8) – DEF, Arsenal (currently listed as “d” – 75 % chance of playing)
Summary
- The model expects ≈ 3.78 extra points from GW 9‑12 if you make the three transfers above, which exceeds your 2‑point threshold.
- No free‑hit or other hit is needed, so the plan complies with the “no hits” constraint.
- The recommended line‑up, captaincy and bench are listed above, and the chip decision is to save any valued chips for later weeks.
Proceed with the three buys/sells and set the XI, captain and bench as shown if you wish to follow the model’s recommendation.
